The Constitutional Monarchy of Hinomia is a large, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 80 million Hinomians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 10.0%.

The powerhouse Hinomian economy, worth 6.62 trillion Yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 82,728 Yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, the nation sends criminals home to think about what they did, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, and surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hinomia's national animal is the Green pheasant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hinomia is ranked 57,904^th in the world and 1,739^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 129.92 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
